And good wishes for you and your families and your loved ones for the holidays and for 2012.

We at Occupy have helped open the discussion on what type of society America is going to have going forward. We should give special thanks to the young people, mostly, who went out and lived at Zuccotti Park and the other sites.

We have committed to nonviolence. We are learning from the examples of Gandhi and King. For Occupy to succeed, this nonviolence of hand, tongue and heart will be the fulcrum. Discipline will be the lever.

Christmas recalls the story of a Prince of Peace. So, also, the blessings of faith, hope and charity. We are the 99% and we must go in peace.
